[kde-linux] Problem with skim using KDE apps

[Murray Trainer]

Hi,

I hope someone is familiar with skim for input of non-keyboard symbols.  I have installed the following on SuSE 10.2:

scim-1.4.4-23.7.i586.rpm                  scim-tables-ja-0.5.7-23.i586.rpm
scim-input-pad-0.1.1-40.i586.rpm          scim-tables-ko-0.5.7-23.i586.rpm
scim-pinyin-0.5.91.20060705-31.i586.rpm   scim-tables-zh-0.5.7-23.i586.rpm
scim-tables-0.5.7-23.i586.rpm             skim-1.4.5-29.i586.rpm
scim-tables-additional-0.5.7-23.i586.rpm

and have set the variables below as suggested in the FAQ:

export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim

and I have skim working OK but I can't input characters from SKIM into KDE applications.  It is working for OpenOffice, Firefox and Gnome Evolution.  Is there something special I need to do for KDE to make it work?

Thanks

Murray
